Please try updating the firmware of the PT2. Then reset and re-add it to your eWeLink account. Then, make sure to enable ONVIF in the ā€œMore Settingsā€ section. I just tested the camera I have, and it was able to be added successfully. Is it only this specific camera that cannot be added, or are all cameras having this issue? ---

Excellent work, itā€™s working. havenā€™t you thought about whether your cameras could record to iHost. What would you do with iHost nvr where you can also play back recordings? it would really add value to iHost and since I often install cameras, you would have better sales and I will be happy that it will work. ---

Works nice but we need more Timer functions for that Example your camera detects movement and you want to trigger lights to go on That works fine but how to deactivate the light automatically after some minutes? ---

Ok i have played a little bit with this feature It works fine But only for the first camera i added Is there a limitation? I tried 2 identical cameras with exactly the same Firmware and settings Both are added as Onvif The video part is ok on both But only the first camera can trigger smart home scenes The second one not :-/ ---

why donā€™t you support the option that it will be possible to play recordings from your cameras that have an SD card through iHost. it would definitely be a big plus for the customer to buy your cameras and iHost. you could also put this option in the cast. I see it as realistic for every user to be a user who likes that you are progressive. ---

You could add a fixed loop but what you really want is. a delay after the last movement with each movement resetting the timer. You can do this in Node Red on the iHost. ---

Why donā€™t you support the possibility of playing back recordings from your cameras that have an SD card via iHost? iHost would serve as a player for the camera recordings.
